I am going to have two groups open in this round. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JOIN BOTH GROUPS. These two had the most interest for this month, but the vote was pretty split.

Mail Date = Aug 3rd (gave until the weekend after the end of the month); grace period to mail until the 10th.

GROUP 1: ALTERED DOMINO BOOKUsing 2 Dominoes create a small book. There is a tutorial on artfullymusing.blogspot.com There are tons of examples on pinterest.

Group 2: ALTERED ITEM (FROM A FLEA MARKET, GARAGE SALE, YOUR HOME, ETC.)Example, an altered wood caddy...an altered box.... alter a canvas....make a box out of a book, i have examples I will post later of things I have done. My fave was finding a round metal industrial outdoor lantern and I made it into a steampunk world.

***Reminder this is meant to be a low cost swap so keep that in mind when finding your item to alter. I found a really cool item for a $1 on 1/2 off day at the salvation army that I think am going to use.

QUESTIONS:1. WHICH GROUP 1 OR 2 OR BOTH?2. THEME (YOU CAN CHOOSE A HOLIDAY THEME IF YOU PREFER)?3. COLOR SCHEME.....IF YOU CHOOSE GROUP 2 YOU ARE KINDA STUCK WITH WHAT EVER COOL THING YOUR PARTNER CAN FIND UNLESS THEY GIVE YOU OPTIONS - BUT DO GIVE A FEEL OF SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE

Also please remember to use good materials, take your time, and make something your partner would love. If you make the domino book (crease the folds of the paper so they are crisp and clean - it really goes a long way in visual impact).

So who will play this round - when you sign up - please answer the questions - thanks:

Okay, I am game. I wanna play! This sounds really cool. I have been a member of the boards for a long time but can't remember ever being in a swap.

1. I want to join group 2

2. It is your alteration so you pick. My absolute favorite things are anything nautical, (lighthouses, seashells, ocean,etc..) My bedroom is in nautical theme and my kitchen will be soon. I also love all things Mickey Mouse! My downstairs bathroom is actually a Disney bathroom. I know that probably sounds corny with my "themed rooms" but I like my house to be fine and reflect me as well as being a place that feels fun.

3. Number 2 actually kind of answers this question. One thing though, I really don't have any kind of vintage decor in my house.

QUESTIONS:1. WHICH GROUP 1 OR 2 OR BOTH? Both :) 2. THEME (YOU CAN CHOOSE A HOLIDAY THEME IF YOU PREFER)? All of my preferences will apply to both swaps. Steampunk, NYC themed, Phantom of the Opera themed, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of OZ, anything with Graphic 45 except the holiday themes please, classic books theme. I love Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, Victor Hugo and Jules Verne3. COLOR SCHEME..... Pretty much anything would be fine with me except pink or bright colors. I like color but I prefer the jewel tones or metallic.

QUESTIONS:1. WHICH GROUP 1 OR 2 OR BOTH? Both2. THEME (YOU CAN CHOOSE A HOLIDAY THEME IF YOU PREFER)? Nature3. COLOR SCHEME..... See question 2IF YOU CHOOSE GROUP 2 YOU ARE KINDA STUCK WITH WHAT EVER COOL THING YOUR PARTNER CAN FIND UNLESS THEY GIVE YOU OPTIONS - BUT DO GIVE A FEEL OF SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE

I have a display with word art and the mini picture frames in different colors that I change out for the holidays. I would like something to use in between holidays for everyday. In that vein, I would like both the Domino Book and the altered item to be nature inspired so Neon is out. Otherwise, it is your choice of design and colors.
